Three network launches £5 pay-as-you-go Euro Internet Pass

Mobile network Three has launched a new EU roaming service which allows its customers unlimited internet data access abroad from £5-a-day.

The ‘all you can eat’ Euro Internet Pass is available to all Three customers on a contract and can be activated via a text message link on arrival at any EU destination.

Three hope the service will encourage users to use the internet more abroad without having to worry about the risk of running up huge bills.

‘We love the mobile internet at Three and we want our customers to enjoy it on holiday as much as they do at home,’ said Three marketing director Thomas Malleschitz.

‘The Euro Internet Pass gives our customers the freedom to use the internet in the EU without having to think about how many megabytes or gigabytes they are using or where the nearest wi-fi hotspot is.

‘We’ve been campaigning for lower data roaming rates and welcome the new regulation from Europe.

‘These changes promote competition and allow us to offer our customers a better deal so they no longer have to worry about running up a massive bill when using the internet.’

The move comes after the price of using your mobile abroad was slashed dramatically under a new EU ruling passed in April.
